The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the TrialNet Coordinating Center (TNCC). The TrialNet network identifies people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at stages before and after onset of clinical symptoms and enrolls them in trials and studies aimed at prevention of progression to clinical disease and preservation of insulin production. The TNCC participates in ongoing studies and intervention trials as well as the design and conduct of new studies and intervention trials. The TNCC will: (1) support a wide range of research projects in varying stages of development, implementation and completion, and (2) provide data and sample management, including standardized acquisition, quality control, dissemination and public accessibility. The TNCC will be responsible for network administration and operations, including the evaluation, selection, and funding (through subcontracts) of Clinical Centers and central support units (such as laboratories) necessary for the conduct of TrialNets clinical studies. The TNCC PD/PI will be a voting member of the TrialNet Executive and Steering Committees, contributing to network leadership. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in Spring 2024 with an expected application due date in Summer 2024. This NOFO will utilize the U01 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to implement the Partnership to Advance Research and Scientific Evidence (PARSE), a project to generate evidence-based research to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. Expected results from this project are twofold. First the project should generate the identification of priority research themes, areas, or questions. Second, the project will enable the production of select synthesis reports and novel studies. Both results must fill public knowledge gaps by providing methodologically rigorous, relevant, actionable, and contextually diverse (international) insight on what works best to advance sustainable and effective criminal justice systems, approaches, and practices. Through actionable AND scientifically substantiated knowledge, the project results should be able to inform strategies or approaches to improve civilian security, mitigate internal and transnational threats and risks, and contribute to stable criminal justice institutions amongst U.S. partners abroad.Applicants must be able to generate results that clearly, concretely, and compellingly convey evidence-based findings to non-scholarly audiences within the rule of law community. These audiences include but are not limited to law enforcement and justice sector officials as well as other decision makers and practitioners involved in policy formulation, program design, and strategic/operational/project/tactical implementation. Resulting research should also be framed by the possibility to extrapolate and adapt evidence-based and actionable findings to multiple countries and/or contexts. Additionally, the selected applicant (qualifying organization) should expect to work in close cooperation with INL. To achieve this level of cooperation, INL expects, among other mechanisms, to hold weekly or bi-weekly meetings with the qualifying organization. Finally, contingent upon performance, relevance, and fund availability INL will consider the expansion of the project to develop additional research products and results (refer to Project Expansion Section).
